*10* MASSACRE on Butler.

The Providence Friars have lost back-to-back home games to Marquette and Seton Hall, and they face a tough test tonight hosting the Butler Bulldogs. This is a revenge spot for the visitors, who lost at home by a score of 81-73 to the Friars at the end of December. My money is on Butler to get the upset.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, while the Friars are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

2. Kris Dunn - The Friars star PG scored just 16 points, and fouled out after playing just 28 minutes in the loss to the Pirates. "When Kris is in foul trouble, our identity changes as a program. He needs to be on the floor and we need to be more disciplined," Cooley said. "At the same time, he was on the floor during the early part of the game when we struggled."

3. X-Factor - The Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the Butler Bulldogs (10*)
